471: My dad is here.

Soon, Lu Jing walked over carrying a basin of hot water and placed it nearby, putting all the sodas inside it.

Xu Zhan and Han Yue both looked at Lu Jing in surprise, then looked at Shen Mo.

Military Doctor Shen saw their astonished expressions and lifted his chin, thinking, what's so surprising about this? He had seen it many times before.

Their gaze then turned to Xiao Niannian, who was eating and was already used to this sight.

Old Lu is really amazing!

However, it was the same way when they were dating before.

Shen Yan glanced at Brother Lu, then looked at Sister Xiao. Hmm, he should eat first.

This meal lasted for over an hour.

None of them got drunk, even though they all had good alcohol tolerance.

After the meal, Xiao Niannian saw Xu Zhan, Han Yue, Shen Mo, and Shen Yan busy working.

"Let them handle the cleaning."

Lu Jing saw Niannian about to stand up and pulled her back.

"Okay."

The four of them were fast, and it didn't take long for them to clean the kitchen and living room thoroughly.

Lu Jing brewed a few cups of tea, and everyone sat on the sofa.

Shen Yan had been warned by his older brother that everything about the Medicine King Valley must be kept secret, and the matter of the tiger especially so.

So after returning, Shen Yan didn't mention a single word.

Han Yue spoke up.

"Old Lu, things haven't been peaceful on our side recently. The Commanders will likely apply to the higher-ups for people to help..."

Hearing this, Lu Jing acknowledged with an 'Mhm.'

"Our unit plans to go train in a cold region..."

Hearing this, Han Yue laughed.

"That's excellent! I look forward to fighting alongside you."

"I've vaguely heard about the training methods your unit is using now. Pass some good training methods on to your brothers..."

Lu Jing nodded after hearing this.

Xu Zhan also laughed upon hearing this.

"Old Lu, when can you guys come and give us some guidance..."

Xu Zhan was speaking sincerely. Although they were also named Special Forces, they were responsible for defending the Capital City, and their training level lagged far behind other Special Forces units.

He had also been thinking about reforms. If they ended up last during the future competitions between the Special Forces Brigades of the various Military Regions, it would be humiliating.

"I heard your unit has the most new gear. I'm really jealous, buddy..." Han Yue looked at Xu Zhan.

Xu Zhan laughed upon hearing this.

"Not us, Old Lu's unit has the most. We even escorted several batches of equipment over there previously..."

The Military Department did give them a lot of equipment, but Old Lu's unit received the most.

Han Yue looked at Xiao Niannian and took a box out from near the door.

Xu Zhan also took out a box.

"Niannian, these are the introductory gifts your Older Brothers prepared for you."

"Thank you."

Xiao Niannian saw the two large bags, stood up, and accepted the items.

Xu Zhan and Han Yue laughed.

"Your Older Brothers called us earlier, constantly bragging that you'll be our Younger Sister too from now on..."

None of them had a biological younger sister, only younger brothers, though they did have Younger Female Cousins.

Lu Jing raised his eyes and looked at them.

He knew exactly what they were scheming.

He didn't want a few extra brothers-in-law; they would all treat him differently then.

Xu Zhan and Han Yue met Lu Jing's gaze, and they all laughed.

"Hahaha."

"Look at Old Lu's expression."

Lu Jing spoke up to chase them away.

"You've eaten your meal, now go back to your own homes."

He originally wanted to have a quiet meal with Niannian, but they ruined it.

"Alright."

"Let's go, time to head home."

Han Yue and Xu Zhan immediately stood up, and Military Doctor Shen also pulled his silly younger brother toward the door.

"We'll take the trash with us."

Xu Zhan said with a smile.

The group left, carrying their things.

After the door closed, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

"Do you want to watch TV?"

Lu Jing stepped forward and turned on the color television.

"Turn it off, I don't feel like watching."

Having gotten used to the high-definition television of her original world, she had no interest in watching this set.

"Okay."

Lu Jing sat on the sofa, watching Niannian leaning back on it.

"Shall I take you to see the backyard?"

Hearing Lu Jing's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

She had only looked at the bedroom just now, but hadn't seen the other rooms yet.

Lu Jing took Niannian's hand and walked toward the backyard.

Xiao Niannian realized that this backyard was very large.

Inside, everything laid out was training equipment.

"You can train at home from now on."

Lu Jing said with a smile.

"The house next door was given to you by Grandpa and Grandma Gu. I also had someone redecorate it, and now the backyards of the two residences have been combined..."

Huh?

Lu Jing led Niannian by the hand and walked toward the neighboring courtyard.

She watched him pull out a key from his pocket, push open the door, and saw that the interior was very similar to the house next door.

"From now on, Grandma can live in whichever courtyard she prefers..."

Xiao Niannian had previously received the property deed and keys, but she truly hadn't come to look at her house. She had no idea that this house was so close to Lu Jing's—that they were next-door neighbors—and that Lu Jing had even finished renovating her house.

The backyard even had such a large training ground.

"Thank you."

Xiao Niannian, moved, hugged Lu Jing.

Lu Jing listened to her words, picked her up with one arm, and replied with a smile.

"Don't thank me."

A one-handed carry?

Xiao Niannian wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"I didn't expect you could do that."

What?

Lu Jing looked at Xiao Niannian with confusion.

Xiao Niannian laughed. The one-handed Princess Carry was incredibly popular in her original world.

Lu Jing held her with one hand, looking completely relaxed.

"Carry me around for a lap."

"Alright."

Hearing Niannian's request, Lu Jing immediately agreed.

Lu Jing carried Niannian, first giving her a detailed tour of her house, and then taking her back to his house next door.

Seeing that Lu Jing didn't look tired at all, Xiao Niannian cupped his face and said with a smile.

"Are you tired?"

Lu Jing shook his head.

"Not tired. I can carry you for as long as you want."

Xiao Niannian thought of Lu Jing's eight-pack abs, and her face felt a little flushed.

She averted her eyes, just about to speak.

A knock sounded at the door.

Lu Jing was carrying her and had just stepped forward to open the door when Xiao Niannian recognized that it was her dad and the Guard outside, and quickly said.

"Put me down, my dad is here."

Lu Jing immediately put Niannian down.

Lu Jing opened the door.

Xiao Niannian had already run back to the sofa.

"Uncle Gu."

Seeing Chief Gu, Lu Jing felt a little nervous.

"Where is my daughter?"

Chief Gu walked directly into the house.

Seeing his daughter holding a book on the sofa, he said.

"Niannian."

"Dad."

Xiao Niannian stood up and called out to Chief Gu.

"Why did you come here?"

"Brother Lu brought me here to look at the house."

Look at the house?

His gaze swept over the house; it was newly renovated, and the living room certainly looked nice.

Lu Jing immediately explained.

"I renovated this house last year, and I also finished renovating Niannian's house."
